I’m loyal to Clean laundry pods—safer for the environment, no mess, and they smell so good I’m tempted to do laundry just for fun.

(Who am I?!)

Clorox Color Catchers — where were these when I was in college?! I ruined SO many clothes back then. But now? Total game changer. No more sorting darks and lights like I’m doing science experiments. (Reds still get their own load though… I don’t trust them.) These little sheets have officially made laundry easier. And if you’re not convinced one sheet will handle the job, toss in a couple more and go live your best stress-free laundry life!

Steam & Go Mop — my new best friend. We have tile floors basically everywhere in our house, and sometimes I feel like my Roomba (love him, but still) just doesn’t get things truly clean. Enter the steam mop. It takes me about an hour and a half to get through the whole house, but when I’m done… oh man. It smells fresh, looks clean, and feels totally germ-free. …Well, for at least a couple hours until we start walking on it again.

I’m obsessed with this stuff. It’s only $8, but somehow makes any lip color look instantly prettier with just a hint of sparkle. I love layering it over a tinted balm — it’s like a glow-up in a swipe. Budget-friendly, shiny, and makes me feel way fancier than I actually am.

I LOVE this lip balm. I’m not a lipstick girl at all, but this tinted balm? Perfection. It goes on feeling just like chapstick, but somehow makes me feel glamorous at the same time. And the best part? It’s only $8.28 — a total steal for something that makes me look like I actually tried today.

This seasonal favorite smells like warm vanilla, caramel woods, and a hint of frosted clementine — basically a cozy winter retreat in a bottle. It makes me feel confident, comfy, and ready to take on the day, so I always stock up when Bath & Body Works runs their winter sales!

This is my go-to beauty routine. I’m not someone who wears a ton of makeup or follows complicated skincare steps, but this trio is my absolute favorite. I have oily skin, and it has helped so much — plus it’s made with natural ingredients, which I love! And yes, shameless plug because I’m a rep… but honestly, it’s amazing.

I try to use this once a week… when I remember. But every time I do, I’m instantly obsessed again. It makes my face feel insanely clean and leaves my pores looking like they just got their life together. Then I follow up with my Power of Three, and boom — youthful, glowing, “I definitely drink enough water” skin.

This lightweight hair oil is my secret weapon — it smooths frizz, tames flyaways, adds shine, and protects against humidity and heat. I only use it on the lower half of my hair (fine-hair girlies know why… one drop on the roots and it’s grease city). The scent is Amber Moroccan, which basically smells like you’re on vacation. My hairdresser asks every time, “What are you using? Your hair looks so healthy!” And I’m like… this. Always this.

I love a good budget find, and this pullover is IT. It’s basically sweatshirt material (comfort level: elite), but with a glamorous twist — beaded shoulders that say, “Yes, I’m cozy and cute.” And for only $32.50?! Walmart really said fashion influencer who? It’s soft, it’s comfy, and it has officially become one of my favorite tops this year.

I’m always hunting for out-of-the-box jeans that fit my style, and these cheetah ones? A whole vibe. Cheetah print is not usually my thing, but the wide-leg fit won me over instantly. I can dress them up, dress them down, and now they’ve somehow become one of my go-to pairs this season. Did I expect to become a cheetah-jeans person? Absolutely not. Am I thriving? Absolutely yes.

I first discovered Hammitt when I was visiting my cousin in Breckenridge — saw the bags, fell in love instantly, and honestly? I’ve never recovered. I’m a hands-free kind of gal. I don’t want my bag sliding off my shoulder or weighing 20 pounds because I convinced myself I needed every random item known to mankind. Enter: the large Charles crossbody. Pure perfection. The small? Too small. The medium? Also too small. But the large? Goldilocks-approved. It fits all my essentials juuuust right. And the best part? I snagged mine during their once-a-year November sale (40% off!) — usually the first week. So yes, I felt like a bargain-hunting queen.

I’m not a big “wallet girl,” but this one from Hammitt completely won me over. It’s simple, cute, and somehow makes me feel like I have my life together. And yes… I snagged it on sale for 40% off because who am I to pass up a good deal? Bargain shopping is my love language.

Don’t be like me and show up to a conference without your business cards. The second I got home, I went straight into “emergency shopping mode” to find the perfect cardholder so I never get caught unprepared again. This little case is cute, classy, and officially saving me from future embarrassment. Highly recommend.

To all my fine-haired girls — this one’s for you. I love this combo. I can wash my hair at night and actually wake up without looking like a grease ball (a miracle). Or I can wash my hair in the morning and blow-dry it for instant VA-VA-VOOM volume. Lightweight, fresh, and gives my hair the kind of confidence I wish I had before coffee.

LOVE this stuff. I use it every single day — no shame. With my fine hair, a quick spritz not only hides those oily spots but also gives me the texture and volume my hair refuses to create on its own. My go-to scents? Warm Sugar (smells like a cozy hug) and the Texturizing Dry Shampoo in Toasted Coconut (aka vacation-in-a-bottle). If you need your hair to behave, smell amazing, and pretend it has volume — this is it.

So… I won the lottery in the feet department. And by lottery, I mean I inherited some very special foot issues (thanks, parents!) and had to have surgery on both feet. Because of that, I have to be super careful about the shoes I wear. Enter: Nike Low Dunks — my holy grail. I can dress them up, dress them down, and they’ve officially become my “fancy work shoes.” Stylish and supportive? We love a multitasker. And here’s the best part: if you’re lucky like me, you can snag the big kids’ sizes for way less. (Big kids’ = literally women’s sizing. It’s the best loophole ever.) Go check them out — your feet will thank you!

I love these leggings — the price is right, the pockets are chef’s kiss, and they keep up with me during actual workouts (not just Target runs). High quality without the high price tag? Yes, please. If you want leggings that can survive squats, lunges, AND your laundry cycle, these are the ones. Plus, the pockets hold my phone so I can pretend I’m tracking steps even when I’m really just changing the song.

The Le Duo Classic is basically the overachiever of hair tools — it curls, it waves, it styles, it probably pays taxes. With its little air vents that instantly cool your curls, it’s like having a tiny glam squad built into one tool. It works for all hair types and lengths: the Standard is great for shoulder-length or shorter, and the Grande is perfect if your hair falls below your shoulders. As for me? This is my ride-or-die for the perfect beachy waves. I use it every single day. My hair wakes up saying “meh” and the Le Duo says, “Not on my watch.”

This was one of my dad’s favorites — and now it’s basically a family tradition. Once you try it, you’ll never go back to a regular cherry limeade again. It’s like the fancy, upgraded cousin who shows up to the family reunion and everyone suddenly wonders why they settled for less. Trust me… one sip and you’re hooked.

This stuff is the bomb. If you have super chapped lips (or honestly, anything chapped), I slap some Happy Salve on it and boom — healed. When my lips are really struggling, I put it on at night and wake up good as new, ready to live my best moisturized life. It’s basically a tiny miracle in a tube.

I’m obsessed with this one too! The sea minerals make it feel so fresh and soothing, and it’s the perfect little boost in my lip-care routine. Totally one of my go-to chapsticks.

This stuff is heaven in a bottle. It’s packed with Pomifera Oil plus sunflower, jojoba, and grapeseed oils, so it absorbs quick, isn’t greasy, and leaves your skin feeling silky and hydrated — especially in winter when my skin is out here begging for help. I have the Lavender Rosemary Frankincense scent and OMG… it smells like I just walked out of a spa and am about to book another appointment. I put it on right after the shower and instantly feel moisturized and fancy. I can’t wait to try the Moroccan Amber scent next — because if my skin is going to survive winter, it may as well smell amazing while doing it.

Since I’ve had a couple of foot surgeries, these have become my “house slippers” — but like, the deluxe, VIP, arch-support kind. The soft footbed gives a little bounce to your step, which is great because my feet need encouragement. They’re comfy, supportive, and make me feel like I have my life together… even if I’m just shuffling to the kitchen for snacks.

The Ghost 17 is basically the best “everyday bestie” for runners and walkers — super smooth, super comfy, and now with even more cushion (1mm more in the heel, 3mm in the forefoot… yes, my feet noticed). I’m a cushioned-neutral-shoe kind of girl, and these are hands-down my favorite. I can do it all in them — indoor cardio, HIIT, strength training, and running outside. If you want a shoe that keeps up with every workout without pretending you’re training for the Olympics… this is it.

This limited-edition holiday collagen is basically a hug in a mug — 11g of collagen peptides, peppermint hot-chocolate vibes, and the illusion that I’m being healthy while drinking dessert. It’s sugar-free, made with real ingredients (shoutout to coconut milk and organic cocoa), and tastes amazing in anything: coffee, milk, smoothies… or straight-up “pretend I’m in a Hallmark movie” mode. Since I found out I’m celiac a couple years ago, this has been my peppermint-mocha lifesaver. I can make a delicious, gluten-free peppermint mocha at home without spending $8 a cup. My wallet and my stomach both thank me. It’s seasonal, so I stock up like a squirrel with snacks. This is my absolute favorite winter treat, and I look forward to adding it to my weekend coffee all season long. Gluten-Free, Paleo, Keto… and full of festive joy.

I love this Our Place 13-piece cookware set because it lets me cook healthier meals without worrying about hidden toxins—no PFAS, lead, cadmium, or microplastics. Knowing my food is prepared on a non-toxic surface gives me real peace of mind for myself and my family. It replaces a cabinet full of pans, cooks evenly, and is lightweight, nonstick, and easy to use on any cooktop. Bonus: it makes me feel like a responsible adult in the kitchen, even when dinner is something simple.

I love this battery-operated heated blanket because I am always cold, and now I can take my warmth with me instead of being chained to a wall outlet. Whether I’m freezing at a soccer or football game or just need extra heat at home, this blanket shows up and understands the assignment. It heats up fast, wraps around me like a cozy hug, and even turns into a wearable poncho—because being warm and functional is the dream. Basically, it’s my personal portable heater and my new favorite cold-weather survival tool.
